Background technology

Routinely, when the abnormality of the failure of vehicle or imperfect maintenance etc. occurs, failure code (DTC：Tracing trouble Code) it is recorded in the ECU in vehicle (electronic control unit), it is changed into the various emergency warning lamps for making to set in vehicle by point Bright or flicker, whereby to the generation of driver notification abnormality.

Therefore, in the case of being lit or flash during driving of the emergency warning lamp in vehicle, driver can identify exception State occurs.However, for the driver for being unfamiliar with emergency warning lamp, lighting or flashing hint for emergency warning lamp can not be understood What kind of unusual condition, and the appropriate action corresponding to this can not be taken.

On such problem, in Japanese Laid-Open Patent 2006-193138 publications, disclose when emergency warning lamp is lit Or during flicker, light with emergency warning lamp by showing in the display device for be used as notification means or flash relevant detailed letter Breath, notifies driver's details.

More specifically, content description data storehouse be arranged in advance the server system installed in vehicle and guider this two In person, the description content for the warning that the content description data storehouse can be stored with the illumination via emergency warning lamp or flicker are carried out is relevant Data (details).In addition, when emergency warning lamp is lit or is flashed, guider is on the detailed letter corresponding to emergency warning lamp Whether breath, which is stored in the content description data storehouse of its own, scans for, and if details are stored in content and describe number According to storehouse, then this details are used and notified to driver.

On the other hand, in the case where such details is not stored in content description data storehouse, guider and clothes Business device system establishes communication linkage, is received from server system and corresponds to the details about emergency warning lamp, and makes to believe in detail Breath is notified to driver from display device.

The content of the invention

However, by the technology of Japanese Laid-Open Patent 2006-193138 publications, storage inside has the interior of details Hold descriptive data base and must be stored in guider as car-mounted device in advance for searching for the software of associated detailed information In.Therefore, it is impossible to avoid the complexity of system construction for including car-mounted device, and in the case where needing repair systems, need Want considerable time and effort.Further, in the case of using server system, according to communication environment, service is accessed Device system may need the time, or under specific circumstances, access due to being probably impossible outside communication range.

Moreover, since emergency warning lamp be lit or flash, continuing to monitor that vehicle with lamp is lighted or dodged until performing In the case of untill the repairing of failure etc. corresponding to bright, if driver continues to be notified the details in each drive cycle, Driver is then depended on, has driver to feel very irritated possibility due to continuing notice.Thus, the problem of existing It is, if performing notice make it that associated detailed information is unremarkable, may not give sufficient concern to this information.

In view of above mentioned problem, the present invention has been found out, and the purpose that the present invention has is to provide vehicle-state monitoring System and mobile terminal device, in the case where the generation emergency warning lamp of the abnormality according to vehicle is lit or flashed, this Invention uses mobile terminal device as smart phone of display device being connectable in vehicle etc., Generation corresponds to the message of the anomalous content of vehicle, and performs the notice of the message for the display device being directed in vehicle and be directed to The notice of the anomalous content of server, the time accessed needed for server can be shortened whereby, and even if vehicle is directed to service The opening position that device is rested on outside communication range, can also be fast corresponding to the message of the anomalous content lighted or flashed of emergency warning lamp Speed notifies to give the user of vehicle (driver).

The present invention relates to vehicle-state monitoring system, the vehicle-state monitoring system is filled by the display in vehicle The mobile terminal device that put, can be connected with display device and display device can be connected to by mobile terminal device Server form.Further, the present invention relates to the mobile terminal device applied to this monitoring system.

Moreover, the reception of monitoring data cut-off time point is being detected, for example, at the time of ignition switch is disconnected, Or at the time of connection (communication connection) between display device and mobile terminal device is cut off, mobile terminal device is to clothes Business device sends the anomalous content corresponding to all monitoring data detected (on the event for all emergency warning lamps for being lit or flashing Hinder data).

Due to this feature, because server receives all anomalous contents from mobile terminal device, it is possible to easily Whether the unusual condition of management same fault etc. continues to occur.On the other hand, mobile terminal device can be reduced to server Upload the frequency that the fault data limited by anomalous content is relied on.For example, when driving vehicle one time (that is, in a driving During cycle), mobile terminal device only needs to perform the time point for interrupting the reception for monitoring data for server once Property upload when uploading (uploading all fault datas) and generating new failure every time.

So, by the present invention, even if being connected to disconnection ignition switch between display device and mobile terminal device It is cut off before, because mobile terminal device sends all fault datas, institute at the time of this cut-out occurs to server Can also reliably it be uploaded onto the server with the abnormality of the vehicle at the time point.Therefore, in mobile terminal device (such as Smart phone etc.) carried daily by driver (for example, being carried to from outside in vehicle and being used as the portable terminal of monitoring system Device) in the case of, even if performing connection or disconnection for the display device in vehicle interior at any time (for example, just Formula terminal installation is taken to be attached or removed by driver for display device), the abnormality of vehicle can also be uploaded to reliably Server, without any problem.

Further, because after fault data is sent need not in mobile terminal device retention fault data, So the data retained can remain at least, and memory capacity can be saved.

It is even if different moreover, have passed through predetermined amount of time from the notice corresponding to the anomalous content newly lighted or flashed In the case that normal content is notified to server, server preferably sends signal to mobile terminal device, with prompting repairing pair Should be in the failure of the vehicle of anomalous content.In this case, mobile terminal device is based on the signal thus received, Ke Yi On at least one in display device under the display unit and connection status of mobile terminal device, display reminding repairs vehicle Failure message.

So, it is determined that whether predetermined hold-time section is in server corresponding to the notice of the anomalous content newly lighted or flashed Be managed on side, even and if when have already been through predetermined amount of time also continue to notify anomalous content when, also prompt driver repair Manage failure.As a result, anomalous content can easily be corresponded to adjust by not bothering the period of the degree of driver.

As has been described, according to the present invention, it is lit or flashes according to the abnormality of vehicle in emergency warning lamp In the case of, the mobile terminal device (smart phone etc.) for being connectable to the display device installed in vehicle is used to give birth to Into the message of the anomalous content corresponding to vehicle, and also perform the notice of the message for the display device being directed in vehicle and be directed to The notice of the anomalous content of server, the time accessed needed for server can be shortened whereby.Further, even if vehicle is relative In the opening position that server is rested on outside communication range, corresponding to the message of the anomalous content lighted or flashed of emergency warning lamp Can be with fast notification to driver.
